8lb-10lb X9 braid to 6-10lb fluorocarbon leader was a game changer for me when it comes to spinning gear. Being able to just lean into a fish and know you're going to get a hook in them is huge for me. I can cast really far and still get the hook in a fish where I wouldn't have a shot with all the stretch. I love your videos, but I could never go back to straight fluoro on spinning tackle
Ill quit using spinning reels if i couldn't do braid to a leader
@@jy88-why? I run straight fluro and have no issues whatsoever
@@SubZero-pi4jr Just i barley use a spinning rod. Wacky in the spring. Then its basically just a drop shot. Neko here or there. I can keep the braid all year and no fighting line twist. Braid is definitely what got me back to a spinning reel years ago
I do agree with using straight whatever kind of line you’re using. That being said I use Monofilament line for most of my fishing. I find it to be more abrasive resistant, more forgiving, more manageable, more consistent and a lot less expensive.
I use Flouro as a leader on my braid, especially on spinning tackle. Very little line twist. I like the invisx too.
Not worth the cost. I use a lot of copolymer with good results. No one even talks about the copolymer. As far as braid to florocarbon, I don’t do it but you’re the only pro that I’ve heard bashing it.
I use mono and 100% agree with the No Leader recommendation. I have used copolymer with good success and would definitely recommend it over Flouro.
P line makes the best co polymer line on the market. I use it on my flipping sticks.
If the water is fairly clear I’ll switch over to 20 lb flouro.
Spooling up Fluoro the “right” way is like writing in the sand on the beach. It results in only fleeting satisfaction before your effort is washed away once the water comes and goes. The very next trip you’re into the kinks, coils and boiy-yoings that make light tackle work unpleasant.
After I started using fluorocarbon 20 years ago, not withstanding certain applications, I use fluorocarbon 90% of the time when compared to mono. It's a better line. Additionally, once I spool new line on my reels, I release all the line from the reel behind the boat (no lure, line only), while in gear and then re-spool. This process removes any unnatural turns and twists resulting in a straight spooled line. I've never had a problem.
Just use mono
Great advice!!!!!
Sorry Randy, the actual science says otherwise.
Fluoro stretches more than mono does in most cases, and practically equally in cases of stiffer fluoro. The difference is that fluoro is less elastic, meaning once it is stretched, it STAYS stretched, which weakens the line. Elasticity is NOT a measure of "stretchiness"...its a measure of how well a material returns to its original shape after being stretched.
Mono is FAR more abrasion resistant in all the tests on yt. Diameter for diameter, nylon mono is on average 30-40% more abrasion resistant.
Fluoro is *NOT* less visible in water than mono. Why people keep perpetuating this myth is beyond me. There are SO many scientific tests that disprove this, it's like still claiming the earth is flat.
Mono sinks nearly as fast once surface tension is broken. After that, fluoro sinks 5-15% faster depending on the line diameter.
Thanks for the info. I knew mono was more abrasive resistant and a lot cheaper. I also knew that I hate Flouro, had nothing but problems with it and never use it. The rest just reinforced what I felt about it.
The science and greatest fisherman of all time disagrees 😂
@average. I feel your pain, as citing the actual YT sites will only cause your post(s) to algorithm out. I’m familiar with the facts you mentioned with the exception of the visibility,, for which I will search and study (I’m not in disagreement… just wanting to research). Thanks for the clear explanations throughout all of your posts herein.
@@mistertwister1816 I did a whole video on the mathematics of why fluoro isn't less visible. Basically, the super simple version is this: it's a round strand, not a flat sheet. Because it's round, it doesn't matter what the refractory index is...if it's even slightly lower or higher than water, it's plainly visible.
There's no such thing as "less visible" for a round strand. Either you can see it or you can't.
Even glass, which is MUCH higher refraction index than water is completely invisible in water
...when it's a flat sheet.
When it comes to visibility of a substance in water, the shape matters, and a round string is highly visible no matter WHAT it's made of.
Ive used flora carbon on two spinning reels for 6 years. 20 lb 6 lb diameter. For trout,crappie, white bass, and have caught wallies,catfish, its strong. And i seem to think it cast further than mono line.
Respooling new lines, I put it in warm water and use a moist cloth. Never have had a problem on the line no matter how it comes off . The warm water removes the memory. Just make the water warm enough that it feels good to your hand..
I’ve seen 2 separate discussions from actual materials engineers on serious bass forums that confirm:
1) the range of stretch of fluorocarbon line is virtually the same as mono
2) ditto for the “invisibility”
3) it is marginally more abrasion resistant
4) it is more dense, therefore it sinks and is noticeably more sensitive than mono
5) knot strength used to be a concern but modern fluoro seems to have solved that
6) all the above taken together, it’s up to the user to decide whether it’s worth the cost.
Except in actual abrasion tests, mono always beats fluoro
It can't be as stretchy but more sensitive at the same time.
@@PaintballShyguyyes it can. It's more molecularly dense material. That means it transmits vibration slightly better.
So it can (and is) both.
@@TheAverageFisherman99except it doesn’t but only in your mind
@@SubZero-pi4jrlol😂😂😂. There are literally hundreds of scientific tests that prove otherwise.
I don't care for fluorocarbon or braid. I love Maxima ultra green
I’ve noticed with Berkley mono as soon as it hits the water it glows blue. Stands out
I hate using flouro , its brittle , knots burn way easier and its way too expensive
And it's like a slinky ! Terrable on a spinning reel < 😮
Y'all need to quit buying the cheap crap
@@PaintballShyguy im complaining about the price man im not going to pay even more for crappy line lol
@@jeffjames9568 I hated it too until I tried Sufix Advanced, that stuff is great. I tried InvisX later on and like it also. But yeah, hard to beat Mono price wise.
And mono is better
I personally like using a Fluorocarbon coated Copolymer line. It’s 1/2 the cost and you get 1/3 more per spool. It’s strong as all get out and it’s invisible in the water. I’ve used all different kinds of Fluorocarbon line and I don’t like how stiff it feels and it breaks far too easy. It’s one reason I don’t use line lighter than 12 lb test, even with Mono or Copolymer lines. Braid is another story. I use braid on Whopper Ploppers and heavier grass jigs and frogs. I probably change out my line every other year. I think it’s a myth you have to do it every year or every 6 months.
1. It's not as resilient as nylon and 2) it is NOT less visible or invisible in water. That is marketing b.s. that's been proven false literally hundreds of times already.
InvizX and Sufix Advanced 💪🏻
What about Line Conditioner ?
My reels get sprayed down with conditioner the night before I go out fishing. The reels with flouro do anyway.
Or you could make life simpler and just use mono.
I bought a line counter and I've yet to find a formula to give me a accurate measurement of how much backing to use to get 150 yard refill spool over it when the 2 lines have different diameters
Sorry Randy, 90% of the time fluorocarbon stretches more then mono. I would be happy to share tensile test data.
More? Yea no…
@@d3adp94 uh yes. It stretches more than mono does. A quick yt search on all the testing done will prove that.
Hasn't been my experience.
I use Invizx, and I can tell you it does stretch. I’m amazed sometimes when I get a bait stuck in something solid and try to pull it free, expecting it to break, but I feel it getting longer.
I understand that mono stretches more than fluoro at normal fishing tensions but fluoro stretches more as it approaches it’s breaking point.
#1 is make sure your reel doesn’t have any line lay or braking issues.
I bet fluorocarbon is really good for trout too, just because it's less visible.
It's not less visible. Stop repeating that myth.
That's the biggest myth out there. Next is it don't stretch. Fluorocarbon sinks. That's it's where it shines
Aside from all the back and forth about stretch, elasticity, transparency in water, stiffness… the production of fluorocarbon line is extremely environmentally impacting.
Interesting, can you add to this?
🤡
Fiuro does not disapear under water and is not any better than high quality mono.
Floro line has too much memory and is not as supple as monofilament or braid. I get better sating distance with braid and mono. The only way I will use floro is as a leader material when a sinking line is a better option when fishing certain techniques.
Johnny is well off and he deserves it! But now we are stuck with people who are strapped in their money making lifestyles that have no clue why INTEGRITY matters in any sport! No one shouldn’t give a shit what color your problem is or why you think this world should change you! We all the same as long as we come together! United we Stand..Divided We Fall! No matter what sport you like!
Fluorocarbon will last for years 😂😂😂😂😂
Fluoro sucks imo. It’s either braid or mono for me
That line can B .!
Sir, respectfully want to say that around the same time you told us the economy is doing just fine, you lost your boat deal. Perhaps they are not related, but it seems when the economy is just fine boat companies do very well. You are an expert on bass fishing. Stay in your lane.
My thoughts exactly
This is a line video. How about stay in your lane goofy.
…
I can confidently say floro has less stretch. Just less. If you don’t like, don’t use it .
I can confidently say you are incorrect. Dozens of scientific tests prove it.
